What? The IDF identified at least 24 Hamas operatives among the "victims". Hamas admitted that 50 of them are its activists._________________"People are the worst, the worst thing about music is that people play it". M. Patton.

Now that sounds stupid. Why would Hammas throw *rocks* at IDF? What kind of numbskull strategy is that?_________________"Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated, until defeat has been accepted as a reality." -- Bruce Lee

They know they can't defeat Israel with force. They march thousands of protesters at the Israelis and then get them shot for propaganda value, gaining sympathy for their version of reality and influencing international sentiment.

"An attempt to approach or crossing or damaging the fence do not amount to a threat to life or serious injury and are not sufficient grounds for the use of live ammunition," Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, told reporters on Tuesday.

"This is also the case with regards to stones and Molotov cocktails being thrown from a distance at well-protected security forces located behind defensive positions."

yes, and Hamas admitted that 50 of them are its members.
Btw, at that very same day, more than 120 people were killed in Syria, nobody seems to care.

Gaza is already in its previous borders. You just don't know how to tackle this issue, so you keep chanting slogans. Maybe you should try to educate yourself before spilling out nonsense on issues you don't have a clue about?

Every Jew I know, outside of a few lefties living in the USA and the EU, support this. It's like 90%. What this tells me is that you do live in a bubble._________________Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

and 2013, and 2012, and 2011. It's a sad indictment of Israel. The settlement policy, the forced migrations, the murders. You should be ashamed_________________"Sex: breakfast of champions" - James Hunt
